The line about our newsroom repainted to look like a day-care center is a keeper.

But the one line -- actually three words -- that stand out to me, and that both lovers and haters of the Courant should really dwell on over their morning coffee is included in this paragraph:

"Yes, The Courant has changed, but if you're moved to send me one of those condolence e-mails ("How are you, really?"), don't. Much to our mutual surprise, the pterodactyl and I are still here. We're. Still. Here."

A little more from her piece: "Financially-strapped companies are desperate to be efficient, so they often go with what's easy and familiar."

"Diversity also may not seem like a major problem at a time when many
Americans point to the election of Barack Obama to the presidency as
proof we live in a post-racial society. But the reality is we don't."

According to a study prepared by Howard Wall, a St. Louis Fed economist and vice president, African-American workers have lost jobs at a rate 50 percent higher than white employees over the last two years.
